Space Cadet Lyrics

Cover art for Space Cadet lyrics by Kyuss

It's about doing mushrooms.

"Some things are so the mind can breath" - A psychadelic experience is a lot of times refreshing and a needed experience. "Waiting is hard—fucking takes so long" - he's waiting for the drug to kick in. "Earth Acid cleanses me, it cleanses me clean" - If you've done shrooms you'd know its got many parallels to acid (LSD), but it is like "earth's acid" because it comes from the earth

The verse that starts with the line "I lay on my side on the edge of the room" is about actually being under the influence of the drug. He is tripping out. The earth has given him this gift and she does not expect anything in return for the trip.
